The new Minnesota plums are conceded 
to be the finest race of plums ever devel¬ 
oped for the Northwest. They are large, 
high quality and unexcelled for home use 
or for market. 
Through the use of a proper assortment 
of varieties, such as we list, it is possible 
to have six, seven, yes even eight weeks 
of fresh plums from your own orchard,— 
plums of such large size and tantalizing 
quality that no one can afford not to have 
them in their own orchards. 
The trees are vigorous growers, and, where properly pollinated, produce tremendous crops. 
The past season the State Fruit Breeding Farm culminated three years of carefully con¬ 
ducted experiments relating to plum pollination and have announced that the Minnesota 
varieties must have pollen from certain other plum types in order to produce full crops. 
It is absolutely essential that these plums have proper pollinizers if they are to produce 
the tremendous crops they are capable of yielding. If you already have some of the 
Minnesota plums in your orchard and they do not have correct pollinizers you can increase 
your yields marvelously by putting in the right pollen producers. Write us giving a list 
of the plums you have and we shall be glad to tell you which ones to plant to properly 
pollinize them. If you are starting a new orchard be sure to include one pollinizer for 
every 3, 4 or 5 other trees. We suggest that you leave the selection of the pollinizers to 
us as we can select the ones best suited to the varieties you are ordering or already have. 
Good stock is the foundation of success in growing these plums, whether in a small 
home planting or a large commercial orchard. Daniels trees are good trees and everything 
that the word implies—true to name,—well grown—large tops and roots—carefully handled 
and packed—guaranteed to bring you satisfaction.

UNDERWOOD —The best of them all—if one plum can be 
so singled out. Very early. Large size and entirely hardy. 
Rich, red skin and firm, juicy, golden flesh. It's unsur¬ 
passed flavor has made Underwood an outstanding favorite 
with everyone. Extreme hardiness is one of the crowning 
virtues of its splendidly formed, well branched, ‘ ‘ clean 
cut” looking tree. Commercial growers find this the most 
profitable of all the plums for it brings the highest prices 
of the entire plum season. 
I had better not say any more, for already my mouth is 
watering and I’m getting “ homesick” for the joyous plum 
days of late July and early August when Underwood ushers 
in the season. 
TONKA —For heavy early bearing no plum tree can beat Tonka. Large two year old trees 
frequently bear in the nursery row. In describing this variety, Prof. W. H. Alderman, 
of University Farm, says: “The large, round, attractively colored fuits are not only 
firm fleshed and excellent shippers but are marked by delicious quality as well.” 
The fruit is large and an attractive bright red color. The pit is small and, being entirely 
free stone, is easily removed, an excellent point in canning. The flavor is sweet and the 
quality good. The tree is hardy, of medium size, vigorous and one of the heaviest and most 
reliable producers known. Should be in all home and commercial plantings. Red. Midseason.
